The holiday season was a busy time for us… hence very few blog updates during that time – we were just too busy. We do love that time of year as we get to see some of our favorite families but this year was an extra special session for this family as they recently welcomed […]

I love sessions with older siblings! More families should do a sibling session like this. The purpose of this session was to capture these two together before the oldest, Amanda leaves for college. It seems like so many parents stop doing professional sibling shots of their kids once they are over 5 years old. I […]

Brrrr…. it’s been so cold and cloudy lately! We love any time the sun is out during these cold winter months as it allows us to roll up our studio warehouse door and shoot in natural light. This is the second time we have had the opportunity to photograph this little family. We met them […]

When the HSSV (Humane Society of Silicon Valley) first approached us about doing a session for them we were so excited as we are fellow pet lovers too. They were wanting to capture photos of the staff with some of the animals that call the shelter their home. The HSSV is a non-profit organization located […]

This blog post is way overdue (as are many!) but so many beautiful images resulted from these sessions that I still wanted to share… Mini sessions are few and far between at ALP, but we came up with the idea for natural light Mommy & Me sessions. When we sent the word out announcing this […]

These three kiddos belong to my friend Laurie, who grew up with me outside of Chicago. Laurie is, in fact, the first friend that I can remember – we met in kindergarten! She now also lives in California (Berkeley area) so we are still able to get together from time to time. She has a […]

We recently had the opportunity to go to this family’s beautiful home in Willow Glen to photograph their precious new little one. This family home had beautiful, natural light pouring in their master window. We love shooting in our studio but going to our client’s homes is a nice change of pace. Sometimes we can […]

We are happy to introduce baby Gabriella. This family is not only one of our favorite clients but also personal friends of ALP so we are very excited to be a part of welcoming their new addition. We had amazing weather the day we shot this newborn session so we were able to roll up […]

Quick little post with a few images and a video of a fashion show I shot at Willow Glen’s Garden Theater. This spring fashion show featured fashions from Bella James (beautiful women’s clothing) and Kool Kids Couture (super cute children’s clothing) and Kiss & Make-up (Rebecca and Richard are make-up experts). Monica’s Apt stylists did […]

We are very excited to announce the first in what might potentially be a series of limited-edition mini-sessions! In the spirit of Mother’s Day, our kick-off event will be a Mommy & Me series. Whether your children are 6 months old or 16 years old, this is a great opportunity!! I know… right now you […]
